GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
The prose is clear and concise, with no errors. Earwig's tool brought up a 0.0% chance of copyvios, so definitely all set on that front.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
Many of the paragraphs are short, single-sentence blurbs. Try to meld things together in larger paragraphs, as opposed to breaking them up into small chunks. This was something that the previous review recommended. Also, some parts of the article prose become very repetitive (e.g., "Szczytt was an owner of the several villages."; "Szczytt was also owner of parts of some villages.") As an example of how to proceed, I will give two paragraphs from the article, and then a re-written, single-paragraph, improved version:

"Szczytt was an owner of the several villages. From his father he inherited Białe. Later he bought some more: Truchonowicz, Kozłów and Słobódki from Jerzy Atełchowski, Hubin and island on Otułow's river from Jakub Iwanowicz Suprynowicz Bużycki and his wife Halsza in 1654.

Szczytt was also owner of parts of some villages. He bought part of Tabołki and Prozaroki from his brother-in-law Stefan Tukowicz (first in 1663, second in 1666) and part of Sanniki from Michał Skarżyński in 1674. He was also mentioned as owner of Komorowszczyzna, Ołoskowo and Pohorełe."

Re-write:

"Szczytt owned several villages. He inherited Białe from his father, and later purchased Truchonowicz, Kozłów and Słobódki from Jerzy Atełchowski and Hubin and an island on Otułow's river from Jakub Iwanowicz Suprynowicz Bużycki and his wife Halsza in 1654. He was also mentioned [by whom? the article should state this] as owner of Komorowszczyzna, Ołoskowo and Pohorełe. In addition to these properties, he bought parts of Tabołki and Prozaroki from his brother-in-law Stefan Tukowicz (in the years 1663 and 1666, respectively), and part of Sanniki from Michał Skarżyński in 1674."

Also, in addition to the prose work, the redlinks for the villages should be removed, unless you have a reasonably good reason to suppose that articles will be written about them.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. Has an appropriate reference section:
Well-formatted references, which follow a consistent layout.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

B. Citations to reliable sources, where necessary:
Content is cited to three Polish academic works. I'm accepting them AGF.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

C. No original research:
All content is verifiable.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects:
Like the previous review noted, there isn't much written about Szczytt, but the article seems lacking in information. I don't have a problem with it being short. However, there is very little historical analysis in this article. Why is Szczytt important historically? What do the three historians referenced say about the impact and contributions of Szczytt? For an example of a short article which is a GA, see Yo'nal Ahk III. Note that the article includes analysis of historical events and discussions of the historical impact of the subject.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

B. Focused:
Is focused on the subject, no extraneous detail.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias:
Neutral, no bias.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc:
Highly stable, mostly a single-author article.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
Images are suitably licensed. As I've encountered with many, many other GA noms, an image needed to have a license tag parameter filled out, so I went ahead and did that, since it is a minor issue that won't bias my review.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
The previous GA review questioned the relevance of File:Niesiecki321.JPG. Unlike the second image of the election of Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki, I don't see the relevance of an image of a section from a book about Szczytt.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: Significant work still needed, see comments.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:55, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Pass or Fail:
Kmicic - how are things coming along? I haven't seen any response yet to my review, or edits to the article.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 04:29, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's been over seven days since my review, and the nominator hasn't responded. Therefore, I'm failing this nomination. Kmicic, feel free to address the issues I noted above and renominate the article once those changes are made.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 17:27, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for review. When I will have time, I would improve this article. Regards Kmicic (talk) 22:00, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
